The bright infotainment screen is very distracting while driving. Too many things to take your eyes off of the road. Should have a CD player capability or option. It is difficult to understanding the door locking system...are the doors really locked when you exit and leave the vehicle. The engine is surprisingly peppy and road handling, turning radius are very good. The cargo area is more than ample. I only have 700 miles on the CX-5 so I can't address reliability. A bit too expensive in my view.

Love the drive and ride experience of our Grand Touring CX-5. The reliability has been the concern over the last 6 years. We have had multiple electrical issues with the Info-system & Nav systems that Mazda never really able to fix. Both serpentine belts already had to be changed at 51,000 mi. CV boots already falling apart. I guess we are used to our other 2 Honda’s which seem to be much more reliable..

I love this SUV. The fit and finish are superb, and the materials are high quality. The ride is quiet and comfortable. The controls are easy to use and the gas mileage is as advertised. One test drive and you will be hooked.

This is my first Mazda, ever. After one week of driving, I am very happy with my decision to purchase a Mazda CX-5.

As the passenger, I handle the Navigation Sytem while my husband drives. Because you can't add new destination while car is moving, I have no access to that function. So we now use our portable Garmin 99% of the time!!! And as a passenger, you are blinded to all the driving instrument panels. Very inconvenient if you are trying to help a new driver!!!
